Talking how do you ensure you find your suitcase at the airport?

you know, so you can find it on the baggage whirly thing.

and what do you do to stop it being taken by someone else?


i am sick of someone taking my case by accident and when you get it back the other person's case is completely different, how do they do that?


i have bright pink hair bands on the handle of mine but it doesn't stop MEN (always men) taking it


its time to buy a new one anyway...soo many to choose from

Im after either some Dakine or Burton baggage, as its quite recognisable lol.
Useless for snowboard holidays, but not seen much of it on the carousel in Florida lol.

Come to think about it my Dakine Lowroller would stand out nicely at Orlando.... Might give that a go.

My other idea was to get a hard plastic case, and get a big digital print of me stuck to it

Place a very loud ticking clock in it, seems to deter people from touching it.

Put angel in the case and then she can knock on it from the inside, thus alerting you to it's presence and at the same time warding off other flyers.


Boy do I come up with some brilliant ideas sometimes

don't use trendy suit cases - they get targetted by airport staff

we use sturdy (we usually take 2 and each contain 30kg of dive gear), but plain bags with wheels and use bright orange canvas bands.

easy to recognise from the other end of the belt and strong enough for airport staff to use them as handles rather than busting those on the bags.

We put bright pink and orange locking TSA straps on our wheeled holdalls plus some garish address tags and bright TSA locks

My suitcase has stickers all over it and some brightly coloured PVA tape around the handles.

Saw the next door neighbour going off on his hols earlier this year, and it looked to me like he had spray painted a giant X in fluorescent orange paint on both suitcases!!!

Can't mistake those!
